Christians in Malaysia are now allowed to use the word “Allah” for God in religious publications.

That was decided by a high court on Wednesday March 10th, 2021. The court – the third highest instance in the country – declared a 35-year ban to be unconstitutional. During the first trial in 2010, 11 churches were bombed by Islamic fanatics.

“The Malaysian government Monday (March 15) appealed the court’s decision”.

According to a lawyer, the new regulation is a “confirmation of fundamental religious freedom for non-Muslims in Malaysia”.

In the whole of the Orient, Allah simply means God. The Arab Christians referred to God as Allah long before the Prophet Mohammed appeared in the Arabian desert.

The Malaysian government Monday (March 15) appealed a court’s decision to overturn a decades-old official ban and allow Christians in the Muslim-majority country to use “Allah” to refer to God.
